        <p>The words on the left side can all be thought of as lasting for one-syllable, or one-beat, while the 
           words in the right side last twice as long.</p>

        <p>Now, I've told you that the vowels are always pronounced the
        same way. This isn't <i>entirely</i> true. There
        is one situation where a vowel may not be pronounced as I've shown on the above
        chart. That situation has to do with extending the sounds <i>e</i> and <i>o</i>. Those sounds are
        normally extended, not by writing another of the same vowel, as you would
        expect, but by writing <i>i </i>and <i>u</i>, respectively. In other words, <b>to make an <i>e</i> sound long, you write an <i>i</i>
        after it, not another <i>e</i>. Likewise, to
        double an <i>o</i> sound, you add an <i>u</i>, not another <i>o</i>.</b></p>

        <p>Here are a few examples:</p>
